Once testing is complete, the welcome page will be
replaced by the status page, with the EZinit prompt ready
for you to select one of two initialization methods:
•Select Country––allows you to initialize the receiver
by selecting your present position from a list of coun-
tries in the GPS 45XL’s internal database. This usually
provides a position fix in 3-5 minutes.
•AutoLocate
TM
––allows the GPS 45XL to initialize
itself and calculate a position fix without knowing
your present position. This usually provides a position
fix in 7.5-15 minutes.
If the EZinit prompt has not automatically appeared
on the status page:
1. Press the
E
key.
If you’ve already initialized the GPS 45XL and the
EZinit prompt appears, highlight the ‘no re-init’ selection
with the arrow keypad and press ENTER. The EZinit
prompt may appear if you’ve had the unit on in normal
mode while indoors, or if the antenna is shaded while
acquiring satellites in normal or battery saver mode.
To initialize the receiver:
1. If the ‘country’ option is not highlighted, press the
D
key
repeatedly to move the field highlight to the ‘country’
option.
2. Press the
E
key.
3. Use the
D
key to scroll through the list options until the
country of your present position appears.
4. Use theU key to highlight the country/state/region
you’re in. If the country you’re in is not listed, select anoth-
er country within 500 miles of your present position.
5. Press
E
to finish.
The GPS 45XL will now begin searching for the appro-
priate satellites for your position and should acquire a fix
within 3-5 minutes. You can verify that you have acquired a
fix by watching the status page transition to the position
page (provided you haven’t pressed any other buttons) or
looking for a 2D or 3DNAV status at the top left corner of
the status page.

region or state (if neces-
sary) of your present posi-
tion from the list and press
ENTER. If the country is
